Title: New functionalized perfluoropolyethers and process for the preparation thereof
Inventor: CAPORICCIO GERARDO
IPC: C08G65/00
Filed: 1986-11-13
Abstract: A process is disclosed for cracking high molecular weight perfluoropolyethers having neutral end groups obtained from the photooxidation of perfluoroolefins or the fluorination of hydrogenated polyalkylene oxides or by polymerization with opening of the partially fluorinated oxetane ring, said process being carried out in the presence of catalysts composed of fluorides, oxyfluorides or oxides of transi­tion metals or of Al, Sn, Sb at temperatures of from 150 to 380°C. The cracking process leads to the formation of low molecular weight perfluoropolyethers having neutral and acid end groups. The perfluoropolyether acids may be converted to functionalized perfluoropolyethers and are useful to produce new polymers.

Title: Process for the production of a telecentric light beam,device for carrying out this process and process for the production of an hoe
Inventor: KAESER BEDA
IPC: G02B26/12
Filed: 1987-04-01
Abstract: A light beam is repeatedly deflected in the longitudinal direction through a holographic element HOE by means of a rotating multi-faceted mirror. This HOE is so formed that the beam entering at different angles leaves the HOE as a telecentric beam. Through a further HOE the telecentric beam is diffracted onto an electro-optic transducer. In the region of the telecentric beam is located an object to be measured, and the time of the interruption of the telecentric beam by means of this object enables the dimension of the latter to be determined. The production of the telecentric beam and the deflection of the latter onto the transducer by means of the HOE allows a simple cost-effect manufacture as well as a simple evalution of the measurements with increased precision. The manufacture of the HOE is likewise simple.

Title: An engine operating status detection apparatus
Inventor: BOGGS DAVID LEE
IPC: F02N11/08
Filed: 2001-11-27
Granted: 2004-12-15
Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for determining "engine on" status in a Hybrid Electric Vehicle. A controller determines the engine is necessary and then checks the current "engine on" status. If the engine is not currently running, the controller proceeds to start the engine by commanding the generator to spin or "motor" the engine. The controller then starts fuel flow and spark within the engine to create combustion. A measuring device is then used to determine the crankshaft speed. The controller receives this measurement and determines whether the measured variations in crankshaft speed exceed a calibratable threshold. If the calibratable threshold is exceeded, combustion is determined to be occurring and the engine is on. The controller then turns on the "engine on" status flag.
